More Functional Programming in Python 2.5, where's the
Syntax?

Still, FP is not only about semantics, is also about fostering
code reuse and implementing stuff in more elegant and concise way.
For such stuff to be effective though, a nice and handy syntax is
(IMO) mandatory. Anyone knowing i J. Random Functional Language
(whatever Lisp dialect, ML, Haskell, ...) should be able to guess
how to apply function partially in Python.

Considering that Python has a long history of syntactic
extensions via PEPs (think about list comp or
generator
expressions) I fail to understand why to apply a function
partially I have to write something as ugly as:

all_evens = functools.partial(all_divided_by, x=2)

It's only me or the most natural syntax, that everyone would be
able to guess out of the box, would have been:
